"All valuable creative ideas are logical in hindsight. However, initially they are usually invisible to logic. Lateral Thinking™ gives you the power to see"      "You can analyse the past but you have to design the future."       "Thinking is a skill that can be taught. Unless we teach thinking we waste over fifty per cent of the talent available in society."       “The quality of our thinking will determine the quality of our future” " Like the front left wheel of a car, our traditional thinking is excellent - but inadequate."       "Thinking is far too often concerned with the judgement of "what is" rather than the design of "what can be."        "Many highly intelligent people are poor thinkers. Many people of average intelligence are skilled thinkers. The power of a car is separate from the way the car is driven."       "Some people drift along like a cork on a river, feeling that they cannot do anything except drift, moment to moment. This is an attitude of mind. Everyone can be constructive even in tiny ways."       "Humour is by far the most significant activity of the human brain."       "If you never change your mind, why have one?"      "Perception is real even when it is not reality"       "You can analyse the past but you have to design the future"       "The quality of our future will depend directly on the quality of our thinking"        "If you do not design your own future, someone else will do it for you"       "In winning an argument you gain nothing, in losing you gain another point of view"       "A good idea never excludes a better one" "Intelligence is like the horse-power of a car - thinking is the skill with which the car is driven"       "You do not use the reverse gear all the time but when you need it you really do. It's the same with creativity"       "If you learn the successes of the past you risk being trapped by them"      "Possibility is to progress as hunger is to cooking"      "Everyone behaves logically within a personal bubble of perception, values and experience"      "Arrogance is the real system sin because it cuts the system off from reaction and reality"      "With a provocation there may not be a reason for saying something until after it is said"      ""I think therefore I am" I do, therefore I matter"
